get the best of reddit, delivered once a week

In Colorado we're entitled to a 2 cents/kWh REC for 10 years. The rep I had was aware of this and built it into the proposal. That's almost 20% off my rate so it's pretty significant. I hope to have everything paid off by the end of the ten years to maximize the benefit.

Thanks for the reply! Very much appreciated. At this point I'm pretty comfortable moving forward but I just want to get the best deal possible. I am on a tiered plan with xcel so the rate I quoted was the average over the year so I would stand to cut that a little bit.

So does it make sense to wait now with the announcement of the home batteries from tesla? How does this figure into solar city's plans? I'd like to pull the trigger but don't want to be kicking myself in a few months.

Agreed. There seems to be a very vocal group getting angry that non-developers are upgrading to iOS7. They are drowning out the relatively few people who shouldn't have upgraded that are asking for help.

I think the vast majority of people who upgrade to iOS7 understand the risks.

I gave it a try for a day and found it to be a little too buggy for my liking. It's certainly usable but be ready for app crashes, occasional freezing, and full on restarts. I reverted to 6.1.3 today so you can always go back if necessary. I'm on a 4s by the way so a 5 may handle things a little better with a faster processor.

Well the X1 uses the old e90 chassis. It's pretty much an old 3 series wagon that just sits up a little higher. The tech and the options are a little outdated on it and it will obviously drive a little differently because of the higher clearance. You do get the new engines with it at least.

If you're willing to spend the extra money I'd wait for the new 3 series wagon. It will be much bigger than the X1 and you'll get the newest features.

It's odd. When I was 20 I thought wagons were the ugliest things imaginable. Now that I'm 30 with a kid I can't imagine a better car to have. Hopefully that F31 diesel makes it stateside and that will be my next purchase.

Over the years I've driven BMW, Lexus, Acura, Mercedes, and Audi. The ride of the BMW is unparalleled. Simply, it's a blast to drive.

Audi has gotten better recently but the others are very bland to me and not very driver focused. What does pain me about BMW are the idiots who buy the car simply for the roundel on the hood with no intention of ever pushing the limits of their car. What a waste.
